* [[What Could Have Been]]:* [[Sidney Poitier]] might have helped his acting career by forestalling his [[Positive Discrimination]] blacklash in the 1960s1960's if he had accepted an offer to play the title character for a TV movie adaptation. Christopher Plummer would have served as his Iago (and later played the role on Broadway to much acclaim opposite [[James Earl Jones]]).
 
** [[James Earl Jones]] was the director's first choice for the BBC's 1981 TV version, but the British actors' union objected strongly to casting an American in such a high-profile role. In the end, the part went to [[Anthony Hopkins]], with the character presented as being of Arabic, rather than African, descent.
